What are some good female Elf names (not Tolkien) that you would actually use for a child in real life?
I’m going to seperate my response into a few categories because of the fact that you said names you would “actually use for a child in real life”
Names I’d use on real kids without much hesitation
[name_f]Leta[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Delia[/name_f]
adventurous names I’d possibly use on real kids
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
Wilhemina
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sicily[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphi[/name_f]
names I would probably only use as middle names for a real kid
[name_f]Aura[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Indigo[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarai[/name_f]
[name_u]Hero[/name_u]
[name_u]Wynne[/name_u]
[name_f]Mairi[/name_f]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helped p.s, I almost forgot to add that I am currently trying to name elves too and that post is called Help Naming [name_m]Royal[/name_m] Elves!
The first name that comes to mind is [name_u]Arya[/name_u], an elf princess/queen from [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] Paolini’s Inheritance trilogy.
I know you said no Tolkien but I adore [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] and I think it’s totally usable! Aside from that the only other female Elf character I can think of is [name_f]Alanna[/name_f].
Names that strike me as ‘elvish’ or have ‘elf’ in their meaning are:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Naida[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
Elphie/[name_f]Elfie[/name_f]
[name_f]Silva[/name_f]
[name_f]Nerida[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] (nn. [name_f]Effy[/name_f])
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Ailsa[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elva[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariella[/name_f]
[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Fay[/name_f]/[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Gelsey[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ailis[/name_f]
[name_f]Radella[/name_f]
Caelia
Is it just me or does [name_f]Esme[/name_f] sound like an elf name?
Elfa
[name_m]Saber[/name_m]
Seylin
These are the ones I currently remember. I’ll get back!
Here are many christmas elf names list please check this Christmas Elf Names
One of my D&D characters is [name_f]Elora[/name_f], which I’d totally use [name_m]IRL[/name_m] if my SO wasn’t bothered by the connection. My elven characters in Dragon Age - [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f], [name_f]Neria[/name_f] and Liadan - I love too.
A lot of my more adventurous faves I think sound elven, as elves are my favourite fantasy race! Again, would probably use if I didn’t have such a picky partner who’s adamant we choose a more familiar name.
